How come there's loads of joins on this manifold but there isn't on some other ones you see? What's the difference/benifits?
There's no benefit with using welded joins bud, it just means the pipes don't have to be bent as much.
With the acute angles that have to be used to make a manifold, sometimes, it isn't possible to bend the pipe into that shape. So, that partially bend it and weld another pipe on, to get the required angle etc...
As long as the internal joints are smooth, you might as well use joins, instead of bends, to make you life easier.
With 'other' manifolds, they probably do have the joins but, they're smoothed and then the whole manifold is chrome plated, so you can't see any joins.
Thanks!
